    Oops I forgot that, doesn't change the fact he had a defence here and that Linares has become better known and better regarded since his fights in the UK. Or any of my points about the heavier divisions.

      Facts.

      Jerry Jones, the owner of the Cowboys, is always trying to get one of the megafights there but always loses out in the bidding to Vegas.

      He only seems to get lower level bouts like Canelo vs Liam Smith.

Even Eddie Talked about how American Promoters get Network Money so hey don't have to worry about Tickets Sales and all that stuff like he does. It does somewhat make Promoters Lazy and Cut Corners.

        Also it is not about Vegas No more Barclays and New York In Generals seems to be taking Crown as the new Mecca Of Boxing. Even Rumored that AJ would make his US Debut in NY and NOT Vegas that says a lot. Why not take advantage of multiple markets if you can!

        But NO America is still the MECCA but the UK is Gaining Ground FOR SURE! Only thing that is keeping the UK from taking over is their Crazy Taxes!
        Josh Kelly's finish in your sig still cracks me up.

        I know Kelly is talented and all but who would be happy with getting blasted with 8 left hooks in a row.

        Just about the worst defeat I've seen anyone suffer.

        That guy could fall into a barrel of t.its and come out of it having received a left hook.

          So bid higher. But he won’t because it’s not a guarantee to fill up that many seats.

            It's very difficult to outbid the Vegas casinos, that's the whole point of this discussion.

            Even Madison Square Garden and NYC lose out when they try to get one of the big PPV fights over there.

            Las Vegas is where the big money is. Even Eddie Hearn's daddy knows that.

              Like I said, bid higher. With your guarantee, the place will be sold out and easily recoup the money.

                Unfortunately cause of my younger years am not aloud to travel to the USofA. Booh hoo.
                My friend has a similar problem, he had a few minor offences as a teenager and he had to apply for some special tourist visa or something to get into Australia.
                I’m not too sure how strict Vegas/Nevada is regarding criminal records but I’d have a look if there’s a special type of visa/permit you could apply for.

                  Please tell me how the fuuuck is Joshua “the most marketable fighter in the world”??? Lol

                  For fuuck sake even Joshua admitted in an interview a couple months back that Canelo is the top dog in boxing.

                  Edit here found the article.

                  IBF, IBO, WBA heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (19-0, 19 KOs) is gearing up to return to the ring this Saturday night, when he defends his titles against late replacement Carlos Takam in Cardiff. Everybody has their favorite fighter, someone who they personally view as being the best in the business. And so does Joshua. The Olympic gold medal winner is a big fan of Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (49-1-2, 34 KOs).


                  So now your gonna probably tell me Joshua is lying???

                  Look idiot no one in Mexico knows who the fuuck Joshua is but I bet everyone in England knows god damn well who Canelo is.

                  That’s a fact.
                  God you're ******. If you do some research by typing into google you will find the information you need to be educated.

                  Joshua saying Canelo is top dog is nothing more than him being respectful. AJ gets accused of being fake because of him trying to be humble. This is just him being humble. Nothing more.

                  Everyone in England knows Canelo? Now I think you're a troll because no one is this ******. Canelo is shown on Boxnation which has about 100,000 customers max. If you were to show a picture of Canelo to the vast majority of Brits they wouldn't have the faintest idea who he was. I'm British, I should know.
